Definitions
- the disclosure is directed to devices providing at least one optical connection port along with methods for making the same. More specifically, the disclosure is directed to devices such as multiports comprising a keyed-connection port and a securing feature associated with the connection port for securing an optical connector along with methods of making the same.
- Optical fiber is increasingly being used for a variety of applications, including but not limited to broadband voice, video, and data transmission.
- bandwidth demands increase optical fiber is migrating deeper into communication networks such as in fiber to the premises applications such as FTTx, 5G and the like.
- As optical fiber extended deeper into communication networks the need for making robust optical connections in outdoor applications in a quick and easy manner was apparent.
- hardened fiber optic connectors such as the OptiTap® plug connector were developed.
- Multiports were also developed for making an optical connections with hardened connectors such as the OptiTap.
- Prior art multiports have a plurality of receptacles mounted through a wall of the housing for protecting an indoor connector inside the housing that makes an optical connection to the external hardened connector of the branch or drop cable.
- FIG. 1 shows a conventional fiber optic multiport 1 having an input fiber optic cable 4 carrying one or more optical fibers to indoor-type connectors inside a housing 3 .
- the multiport 1 receives the optical fibers into housing 3 and distributes the optical fibers to receptacles 7 for connection with a hardened connector.
- the receptacles 7 are separate assemblies attached through a wall of housing 3 of the multiport 1 .
- the receptacles 7 allow mating with hardened connectors attached to drop or branching cables (not shown) such as drop cables for “fiber-to-the-home” applications.
- optical signals pass through the branch cables, to and from the fiber optic cable 4 by way of the optical connections at the receptacles 7 of multiport 1 .
- Fiber optic cable 4 may also be terminated with a fiber optic connector 5 .
- Multiports 1 allowed quick and easy deployment for optical networks.
- the housing 3 of the prior art multiport 1 is rugged and weatherable for outdoor deployments
- the housings 3 of multiport 1 are relatively bulky for mounting multiple receptacles 7 for the hardened connector on the housing 3 .
- Receptacles 7 allow an optical connection between the hardened connector such as the OptiTap male plug connector on the branch cable with a non-hardened connector such as the SC connector disposed within the housing 3 , which provides a suitable transition from an outdoor space to a protected space inside the housing 3 .
- Receptacle 7 for the OptiTap connector is described in further detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,579,014.
- the receptacle includes a receptacle housing and an adapter sleeve disposed therein.
- the receptacles for the hardened connector are large and bulky and require a great deal of surface array when arranged in an array on the housing 3 such as shown with multiport 1 .
- conventional hardened connectors use a separate threaded or bayonet coupling that requires rotation about the longitudinal axis of the connector and room for grabbing and rotating the coupling by hand when mounted in an array on the housing 3 .
- the housing 3 of the multiport 1 is excessively bulky.
- the multiport 1 may be too boxy and inflexible to effectively operate in smaller storage spaces, such as the underground pits or vaults that may already be crowded.
- having all of the receptacles 7 on the housing 3 as shown in FIG. 1 , requires sufficient room for the drop or branch cables attached to the hardened connectors attached to the multiport 1 .
- pits can be widened and larger storage containers can be used, such solutions tend to be costly and time-consuming.
- Network operators may desire other deployment applications for multiports 1 such as aerial, in a pedestal or mounted on a façade of a building that are not ideal for the prior art multiports 1 for numerous reasons such as congested poles or spaces or for aesthetic concerns.
- FIG. 1 Other multiports designs have been commercialized to address the drawbacks of the prior art multiports depicted in FIG. 1 .
- US 2015/0268434 discloses multiports 1 ′ having one or more connection ports 9 positioned on the end of extensions 8 that project from the housing of the multiport 1 ′ such as depicted in FIG. 2 .
- Connection ports 9 of multiport 1 ′ are configured for mating directly with a hardened connector (not shown) such as an OptiTap without the need to protect the receptacle 7 within a housing like the prior art multiport 1 of FIG. 1 .
- the conventional hardened connectors used with multiport 1 ′ also use a separate threaded or bayonet coupling that requires rotation about the longitudinal axis of the connector along with sufficient space for grabbing and rotating the coupling means by hand. Further, there are aesthetic concerns with the prior art multiports 1 ′ as well.
